Leonard Cohen died recently. Yes, he was Jewish but I'll acknowledge merit where I see it. He would have been a much more worthy recipient of the Nobel prize for literature than Bob Zimmermann. Admittedly, his lyrics were better than his music, but his music had its moments too.
The lyrics to "First we take Manhattan" seem curiously appropriate as the ripples of the Trumpquake spread across the world.

"First We Take Manhattan"

They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom

For trying to change the system from within

I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'm guided by a signal in the heavens

I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin

I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby

I love your body and your spirit and your clothes

But you see that line there moving through the station?

I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those

Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win

You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline

How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I don't like your fashion business mister

And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin

I don't like what happened to my sister

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...

And I thank you for those items that you sent me

The monkey and the plywood violin

I practiced every night, now I'm ready

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

I am guided

Ah remember me, I used to live for music

Remember me, I brought your groceries in

Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded

First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Frauke Petry, the head of the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany was quick to send her congratulations to the US President elect Donald Trump.

Could her party emulate his success?
On Wednesday morning, shortly after Trump's victory over Democratic rival Hillary Clinton was confirmed, Petry tweeted an AfD image which claimed that "this night changes the USA, Europe and the world!"

Shortly after she tweeted that "Americans have chosen a new beginning free of corruption and sleaze. This is a historic chance."

The lyrics of this song are clearly of a revolutionary Jew that hates white society.

"First We Take ManhattanThey sentenced me to twenty years of boredom For trying to change the system from within I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them."

Think 9/11...

"then we take Berlin I'm guided by a signal in the heavens I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons"

Think refugee crisis...

"I love your body and your spirit and your clothes But you see that line there moving through the station? I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline"

Think fucking a "chicsa whore"...

"How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin""it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded"

I think Leonard Cohen had an Arab terrorist in mind when he wrote it. But with Trump in his Manhattan tower, America has the potential to be a revolutionary power, promoting patriotic revolutions throughout European civilisation, overturning the existing kosher-approved order. So the lyrics have an appositeness Cohen did not intend.
